[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 640725, member: 4353"] I wouldn't mind if the ACTUAL growth was getting better without cattle getting bigger when mature. Keren I agree, although I do use EBVs. What most of us are saying about not putting too much faith in unproven EPDs or EBVs isn't because we don't properly understand the system and its implications, its because we actually DO understand the system, have used it, and know how others "use" the system. We also understand that there is alot more about breeding that can't always be quantified numerically that those without the real world experience of actually DOING rather than teaching and reading about it alone will ever grasp. Breeding isn't just black and white, there is alot of grey inbetween. Its as much an art as it is a science without a clear distinction when the art and science meets, know both disciplines of breeding and the grey area inbetween, then knowing how and when to use all the tools box logically will become much easier.
